Ah, I probably don't know enough about the Hyatt to make an accurate prediction here, but, as with Jerry, what I can offer is how this has worked for me in reality for the past 5 or 6 years? As with most, except for a brief period, the EQNs have always posted for me, and even for those nights, say, at the Bellagio that were 100% comped--well, I did add a coffee charge to make it look...ah...a little more respectable. However, for this year, this is no longer the case--fully comped nights no longer earn any EQN. I have no idea how they'll handle this in the future, but I'd wager the way they handle EQNs will be unchanged, at least for this year.

That would be consistent, but traditionally the gaming industry cares little for any activity other than gambling. While this may change, it's still that way now, and probably will be for the foreseeable future. In my view, given the sudden interruption to the Corp travel-convention industry, I suspect they're making some adjustments on how to respond to this potential shortfall should it last longer than expected. While things can surely change, but in today's reality, Vegas is still a small town that cares little about status--MGM or otherwise--where the only thing they value is how much one gambles and ultimately loses--that's it. So, this WOH partnership is pretty meaningless to them, I'd imagine.

Well, as GUWonder has observed, the match started with Plat, and then now it's Gold. With any business relationship based on the principle of reciprocity, assuming it lasts, it'll constantly evolve and often the process of finding an equilibrium is often a fluid one. It wouldn't surprise me at all if the amount of resort waivers hit critical mass, adjustments will be made, e.g., raising room rates, making certain types of MGM booking ineligible for EQNs, closing the MGM/WOH elite seesaw loop, etc...
